DA Vinci code "the movie"

At last I saw the movie itself legally already I was from the lucky people who put their hands on an original copy from the Novel before its banning whether as a book or as a movie in Egypt
I bought a pirate copy from the movie from few months in order to watch it , but to say the truth many things happened in life made me forget that there was a film CD over my shelf with that name till I found that it was going to be aired exclusively in the middle east through the Showtime network in its Pay for view Home cinema service and I just couldn't resist the temptation.
I won't speak about the novel or the plot but I will speak about the movie
I think it is good despite that there were some difference between the film script and the novel,some I understand why and some other I don't understand why like in the end that Sophie will discover that she is not the grand daughter of the Louvre Curator,also I don't understand why they neglect the surveillance room that French Police would find in Sir Leigh's Chateau !!
Silas is still my favorite character assassin and I think he is one of the most complicated assassin characters in western literature
I love Audrey Tautoue ,seriously since Amilie and this sweet french girl is my favorite
Tom Hanks ,well I don't need to speak about him ,his name is enough ,by the way he is very popular in Egypt thanks to the master piece of Forest Gamp
In the end I think Ron Howard and Tom Hanks were right to go on for angels and demons to make a series its hero not a super macho Bond type man but a man of Science called Robert Langdon ,a cryptology professor who fears from closed places and a history policeman

The fall of Eman's republic

Link to Blogger: Permission denied

 Eman is a young blogeress from Alexandria, has a blog in Arabic that is called "Eman' republic”, a blog that I couldn't see or read unfortunately because of the reasons I will mention below

From few weeks ago Eman did the forbidden thing and wrote a post that somehow many understood that it was attacking Libya and its leader Col. Gaddafi for his last statements saying that Libya is African not Arabic refusing all the Arabic relations and roots and insisting on its African relations and roots “It is not a new thing that he says so ,I guess he is saying so to draw the attention of the media and the presidents of Arab countries like Egypt who would send envoy immediately to convince the Col. Gaddafi not to leave the Arab league ,as if he were really making a difference !!”

That what Eman wrote according to those read the post no more ,no less yet the Alexandrian girl found an amazing huge attack from Libyans despite that Libya is considered a country with controlled access to the internet with small number of users as I know

Huge attack in the comments with strange and funny accusations like being traitor and agent I don’t know to whom exactly!!

The story didn’t end here and I really wish it would end here, as Eman found herself requested to go to the National State security building in Alexandria for an investigation in the charge of attacking another president by the request presented by the Libyan embassy!!

The NSS decided to empty the blog from its content in order to please the angry messes of the Libyans for their beloved leader, after all the Libyan-Egyptian relations don’t need some blogger to destroy it!!

They didn’t close the blog but it seems to that the Eman’s republic can’t be entered except by special visa, you can try here!!

Now to my comment: Is this a joke?? Seriously what this girl has done to have all this?? Do really Libyans adore their leader that much?? Come on

BY the way I forgot to say that Eman now is prohibited to enter Libya forever by the orders of the Embassy in Egypt as if Libya was the Eden’s heaven and Eman was dying to visit , I apologize I don’t want to be understood as underestimating Libya but it is so provoking

Thank God I write in English other wise I would be prohibited to walk in Street

You know the mistake is not that those Gaddafi Libyan lovers are so tight head to go coco because some blogeress attacked in their leader but the mistake is that the Egyptian regime listen to them , this young lady didn’t attack the regime nor the government so why would treat her like that ??

I am sorry but there are for sure some Libyan blogs who are attacking us, Egypt and President Mubarak worst then us , at least we have a reason where as all what they have is hate and jealousy !!

Till when we will be second and even third degree citizens in our own country, where as all nationalities are treated as they were the owners of this land ,I don’t understand ,again please don’t misunderstand ,I respect all other nationalities but this is so provoking again ,very provoking  isn’t it ??

And in solidarity with Eman

Screw Gaddafi

A softening across the border - Haaretz - Israel News

When I read the name of "Rosa El-Youssef" then I must be careful when I analysis the data

When I know that there sample that was asked in the survey was only 400 then I must realize it is representative sample according to the simplest rules of sampling and questionaires

With my all respect to the Israelis who want to calm down with kind of results don't put so high ambition on what "Rosa" publishes dears ,they are fat big hypocrite liars governmental speakers who change the reality to what the NDP wants

Already a litte piece of information "Rosa El-youssef" publishing house whether the magazine or the daily newspaper is going to be bankrupted as a result of the very low sales thanks to the governmental tune in its publishings from magazines like "Rosa" or "Sabah El-Khair" or daily newspaper "Rosa"

The problem was always there but it became worst when the publishing house owned by the government sorry NDP decided to issue a daily newspaper to become from the leading indirect NDP spokenewspapers in a very disgusting way

Unfortunately the Newspaper didn't make any success on the opposite of daily "El-Masry El-Youm" and "El-Dostor" instead it succeeded in creating more devasting burden to the publishing house which was already exhausted from the previous managers corruptions

People just got sick from its chief in editors and heads like Abd Allah Kamal and his constant attack on the MB and any other opposition power ,also got sick from Karm Gabr ,the famous enemy of bloggers and thus they decided not to buy it despite all the promotions and special editions

And so I won't take anything "Rosa" publish for real

Sharm El-Shekih is in paralysis for 48 hours

Some say that the famous world wide resort which was turned from a mass grave for the Egyptian POWs in to a tourist attraction and a presidential favorite spot was even paralysised before these 48 hours.

As you know today in Sharm El-Shekih which took from Cairo the lead in international conferences ,there is a conference about Iraq , another conference and another trial to save things in the Euphrates land , a desperate attempt from the neighborhood countries ,leading countries and invading countries to save as much as they can ;not to mention the different forces in the Iraqi playground , you just name.

May be they didn't find a place for this great gathering a place in the crowded Cairo

Anyhow you don't need to think much about the security measurement in Sharm now

But it is not the first time Sharm ,the City of Peace which the official newspapers like to call see this international gathering kind of meeting ,it saw it before

All those honorable guest will stay for 24 hours and leave the beautiful city , there representatives are already here for some time to do the dirty work

Ok as I said it is not the first for Sharm to see that kind of gathering ,I am sorry I am repeating myself but I am just not in the mood

But it is the first time for Sharm to see the wedding of the President's son

As you may or may not know President Mubarak younger son Gamal Mubarak who is famous for his ambitions to rule Egypt despite his yesterday on air denial to seek presidency on "Orbit Channel" will have his wedding party in the Sharming Sharm

The reports came saying there is a security siege around the city , there are restrict orders to give many of the workers a leave since the beginning of the weak , many shops are closed and you can expect stuff from this kind

I don't know if these 48 hours deserve all that fear and precautions !!

The bribe of Peace

 

Dear Egypt famous e-journalist Wael Abbas who is currently in the United States had a little interview with Condi Rice’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Middle East Scott Carpenter for few minutes about the American aid which according to the annual report of the American aid organization Egypt took between years 2005 and 2006 in the midst of the so called Political reform one billion American dollar!!

The exact words in the report or the official American explanation for this huge money is “To support the Egyptian Regime “, Now what does this word “Support” mean?!

 If we go back in time to what between the years 2005 and 2006 political reforms mainly concerning the presidential elections, we don’t need to say that we didn’t join the democratic countries developed club and didn’t have an advance forward political reform, but we became from the top ten dictatorships in the world and had a backward political reform that is transforming the Egyptian republic in to again the Egyptian monarchy after more than 50 years of the July 1952 coup!!

Smart Abbas asked Carpenter few questions in Washington during his current training program in Slate magazine

These are the exact words of the INTERVIEW “With permission of Mr. Abbas”

Wael:

Do you know where the American Aid goes to in Egypt??Do the Egyptians write to you reports about how they spend it??

Carpenter:

No

Wael:

Do you ask them how they spend it??

Carpenter:

No

Wael:

So on what basis you are giving the money of the American people to a dictator regime??

Carpenter:

This is an old issue from the days of Camp David!!

Wael:

So for 25 years you didn’t know that there was something wrong!!??

Carpenter:

We are already reviewing the issue of the aid now

Wael:

So you are giving the Egyptian regime a bribe to keep on the Peace condition with Israel!?

And here the roaster screamed the Scheherazade stopped talking sorry one of the assistants of Carpenter interfered to change the course of the interview.

You know this makes thing more clearer to me, because for 25 years Egypt took billions doing nothing by it, may be only the military aid was useful somehow despite I don’t like it, after all we fought bravely, returned back our land and defeated the enemy who was using the state of Art technology with old soviet weapons from 1967, not even the new ones the Syrians. Other than that I can’t see any significant change in Egypt thanks to the aid, except may be the swage system, seriously we are not like the Israelis how are using it wisely to improve their lives to build new settlements and kibitzes!!

The Egyptian Wise people know for sure that the American aid as soon as it is received by the Egyptian regime it will be transferred to the official banks secret accounts abroad or it is used to suppress freedom not to enforce it and the American officials know that very well, unfortunately this is not the money of the State department, this is the money of the American tax payers who need to know where their money is being spent, how, by whom and for what exactly.

I don’t want to appear like an idealistic but I think we don’t need this aid because we didn’t starve in its absence and we don’t have any benefit from it because already we the Egyptian people don’t take , we don’t have any benefit from worth mentioning

In fact some Egyptians believe it is un needed burden as when Something happens in Egypt that the people agree on like arresting bunch of gays, some senates like Hilary Clinton come in the congress and screams “Cut off the aid” as if it were some sort of punishment and that Egypt is going to die without ,well I know the only people who really be hurt from this severe punishment of cutting it off are not the Egyptian people but the people who really have benefit from it and it is not to hard to guess who !!

I wish that they cut off the aid, it will be for our benefit and before us the benefit of the American people, I mean the victims of the hurricane Katrina need this American aid more than us, already it is their American money paid by their tax payers to improve the American life from public services not as some sort of a salary paid annually to keep Egypt from drowning Israel!!

I swear we won’t tough Israel if we don’t get the aid.

According to my business study based upon the American education and American books I know that the United States of America is paying and paid lots of trillions for lots of countries around the world but Egypt, Israel and Pakistan have the biggest percentage from this huge money that if it is distributed,it will be distributed on 20 Poor African and Latin America countries to improve their living for 2 decades in advance , no need to say how these sum of money could have contributed to the disease and hunger fighting across the world

Ok my Angelina Jolie moments are over but I am saying forget about Egypt who is being stolen and robbed since the times of the pharaohs and till now its people are not starving and thus it is the richest country in history according to the mad man of Libya Al-Kaddafi “you have to take your wisdom from mad men according to the Arabic proverb” but what about Israel and Pakistan , the American people are paying for Israel since its existence from their tax money as if Israel were the 52 state and I don’t need to talk about Israel , but I will take about Pakistan , Pakistan began to receive an American aid from a short time after 9/11 as a reward for its huge help in the invasion of Afghanistan under the name of war on terrorism what they made from it !!

According to what I see Pakistan which was a very powerful democratic country was turned in to a huge military démodé dictatorship with a huge rise to the radical Islamic groups who are giving to Prevez great help by creating a boggy man to scare the west from “seems familiar technique, very familiar” and the rise of the myths culture and ignorance 

If you remember Pakistan had a huge earth quake from couple of years in the north, thousands were killed, villages and towns disappeared from the map, and with the money Prevez took he requested donations, of course in such disaster the more is the better but till now according the human rights organizations some people are sleeping in tents and tin houses “seems familiar too”

We should not forget that both Egypt and Pakistan and we can include Israel too spend these aids to enforce their security by building more jails ,secret state of the Art torture jails , by giving their anti-riots the top notch equipments to suppress the opposition and enemies in case of Israel not to mention the money expenditure on spying devices !!

Ironically Egypt and Pakistan have sufficient resources that can make them for no need for an aid, but what can I say!! Their regimes are in a huge need for every penny for themselves!!

The Arabic version of the Dating game !!

I remember I knew there was once upon time a TV show in the American ABC network in the 1960s with name of the "Dating game" when I was watching the thriller "confessions of a dangerous mind" , a biography about the man behind the show Chuck Barris in which he claimed that he was working for the C.I.A as a hitman , a very interesting movie directed by George Loony you must see.

The idea of the show then was considered silly that was widely characterized in America

The game was a bachelorette would ask questions written in advance on cards to each of the three bachelors. The same question could be asked to multiple bachelors. This continued until time ran out. The bachelorette would make her choice based solely on the answers to her questions.Typically, a bachelorette would question three bachelors, who were hidden from her view; at the end of the questioning period, she would choose one to go out with on a date paid for by the show. Occasionally, the roles would be reversed with a man questioning three ladies.

Back then even the American society didn't accept the idea that easily , of course now it is nothing compared to the reality TV

Why do I bother you with this showbiz historical info my dear Egyptian chronicles ??

Well simply because as soon as I read this repot in "Elaph.com" in Arabic about this Show in the LBC channel ,I remember the Dating game , in fact it is a kind of mix between the "Dating and wedding game" if there is a show called "the wedding game" as it is not about dating but marriage according to the rules of the "Dating game" !!

It is called "Albi Dalili" ,in English " My heart is my guide" which is the name of the famous song by legendry Leila Muard and directed by the famous Lebanese variety director of "Studio El-Fan" Simon Asmar

Really I am shocked to the level we reached in our Arab society as if we need this kind "I am sorry to use the word" of crap , already I don't know why LBC is specialiezed in this useless time wasting TV shows ,copy cat from the west to create a new class of ignorant generations, I am sorry if my words seem too big but this is the reality ,I won't speak about the LBC and its role in Lebanon whether politicaly or Socially because this channel proved in the last lebanon july war that it is not a real lebanese channel !!

No respect at all to what really marriage and companision mean , No respect at all to our Eastern and Arabic traditions

It is not about the Eastern Islamic or Christian traditions , because also the Christians in the Arab world will and are refusing this sort of TV shows !!

It is so disgusting , really disgusting

Sorry, Golda - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews

 Believe or not despite my hate to this old lady but really I share my respect with the writer of this article to this old lady , really she was much respectable then Olmert

I think the difference between her and Olmert is that she was from the generation who really was working for Israel,the grand Israel from the Nile and Eurphates

The generation that would do anything to have this dream come true

where as Olmert is from the generation of politicans and leaders whose all conern is authority

Don't be surprised but there are somethings we must respect and learn from our enemies

And I would like to say I wish that someone like Golda Mier in Egypt with her devotion and respect to the country and the people whom she felt she let down

Again I will say it Egypt need an Egyptian Golda Mier no more Olmert types of leader who will correct their mistake with more mistakes
